backend_dashboard-utils/addScript.mjs

A utility for allowing other components of HolyCorn Software's code easily integrate with the backend_dashboard faculty

import fs from 'node:fs'
import libPath from 'node:path'

export default async function addScripts({ path } = {}) {

    if(!path){
        throw new Error(`Please specify the path to scan for dashboard scripts`)
    }

    const dashboard_faculty = (await FacultyPlatform.get().connectionManager.connect('backend_dashboard')).remote

    let scripts = fs.readdirSync(path).filter(x => fs.statSync(`${path}${libPath.sep}${x}`).isFile() && (x.endsWith('.mjs') || x.endsWith('.js'))).map(x => `${path}${libPath.sep}${x}`);
    for (let _script of scripts) {

        const script = _script

        const add_script = (script) => {
            dashboard_faculty.addScript({
                name: /.+\/(.+)\.mjs$/.exec(script)[1],
                base64: fs.readFileSync(script).toString('base64'),
                override: true
            }); //By then, the backend_dashboard will have been initialized
        }

        //Add the script to the backend_dashboard, and then add it again if it changes
        add_script(script);
        fs.watch(script, function () {
            console.log(`${script} changed, so adding it again to the admin dashboard`)
            add_script(script);
        })

    }
